Practice Transformation (PT)

Partnering Together to Transform the HIV Clinical Workforce

The Southeast AETC’s PT program’s goal are to increase the size and strength of the HIV clinical workforce and to improve patient outcomes along the HIV Care Continuum. We partner with selected clinics across the Southeast to improve patient outcomes by integrating principles of the patient-centered medical home model and implementing HIV care and behavioral health services.

Practice Transformation (PT) is a process of change in an organization and delivery of primary care to advance quality improvement, patient-centered care, and characteristics of high performing primary care.

The Practice Transformation process involves:

• Goal-setting
• Workforce training
• Culture change
• Quality improvement and outcomes measurement
• Adapting organizational tools and processes to support advances in models of team-based care.
